My sister just gave birth to a baby girl named Emma Rose. I am a proud aunt and can't wait to watch her grow up. To remember this special moment, I created a locket necklace for her with a picture of her baby that she can wear close to her heart. Also, I was inspired to create a new line of one-of-a-kind, vintage child's locket necklaces. What a perfect keepsake baby gift for a mother and child that will be passed on for generations!

One of my favorite ones is the Vintage Child's Flower Heart Locket Necklace. This vintage heart locket is embossed with a floral motif and now hangs on new chain accented with gold beads. Please check out my new designs at www.vintagerehab.etsy.com!

My cousin studied for months for his BIG psychology exam. Post-its with facts covered on his test were tacts on every surface of his apartment to help him prepare. All of the colors, handwriting, and what they said inspired me to create a piece of art to hang in his office. First, I made a cardboard structure that folded like a fan. Then, I glued each color post-it in vertical rows. This 3-D collage is designed so looking from the right side are rows of the darker colors and from the left are the light ones. I hope it reminds him of the great accomplishment in passing his test.
